Protect Yourself from Deepfake Scams
Deepfake scams are rapidly increasing across the country, and millions of Americans have already been affected. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, scammers are adapting their tactics—using AI-generated images, videos, and audio to impersonate trusted individuals and defraud consumers.
To help raise awareness, the American Bankers Association (ABA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have released a new infographic that explains how deepfake technology works and how it’s being used to target people of all ages. The infographic offers practical tips to help you recognize and avoid these scams.
We encourage you to review the ABA’s press release and share this information with your family, friends, and community—especially youth and older adults, who are often targeted by these deceptive tactics.
